"One-Eyed Myopia"

Not felled by a proud giant,
Or tricked by a clever dwarf;
Nor native protecting a home -
He was trapped in a frozen lake,
Covered over by drifts of snow,
Ankle twisted and caught in the undergrowth...

As he felt his leg go numb,
His blood becoming one with the ice,
He mused to Odin above,
"Yes, travels with a clan could prevent this...
But I had to take the Road Not Taken -
All for promises of wealths forsaken.
